Where Did I Go Wrong - Martin Sexton

The venetian blinds are open tonight

Just enough to let in the street light

And the shadows paint lines over everything

In the room

There’s my chair by the phone

The coat on the floor

Look like dark horizons that lead to the door

On that old Christmas candle you carved the words

I love you

And since you’ve been gone

There’s nothin' right

Where did I go wrong with you

Where did I go wrong

No more dim Sunday night’s dance to that sexy radio show

Our hips locked tight

Your neck sweating glow

All sweet night, we’d cook

Supper slow

And oh by the way

You left your candle babe

Burning down

I’m begging darlin' please

Where did I go wrong with you

Where did I go wrong

Was it something I said or did or didn’t do

Was all I had not enough for you

Tell me where did I go wrong with you

All the life we were burning through

What with your memory shall I do

I opened up the deepest of my inside

It was all I had left to give

To you

Where did I go wrong with you
